Preparation Steps
- Grate the Parmesan cheese and set it aside to allow it to get to room temperature.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat in a large skillet.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the chicken broth and optional seasoning mix. Slowly add the milk, stirring as you do so. Bring to a boil.
- Add the pasta noodles. You can break them in half for a better fit, or allow them to heat and use kitchen tongs to twist them into the skillet as they soften.
- Let the pasta simmer for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure the noodles don't stick together. Reduce heat to low.
- Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the warm pasta and toss to coat.
- Gradually sprinkle in the Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until smooth and well-combined. The sauce will thicken upon standing.
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve with Garlic Bread with Cheese!
Notes
Make sure the liquid is boiling when the pasta is added for the right consistency. Always shred the cheese yourself for better taste. Add the cheese gradually, stirring continuously.
